| Audio Tekne top end gear? Nobody has ever listened to top end Audio Tekne gear? [bumping the thread] | |
| Qawwali ....Nasrut Fateh Ali Khan Erider, the music, and the playing, on that Nikhil Bannerjee documentary is sublime. His mastery of his instrument is superb. Thank you very much for introducing that. I have been to Indian classical concerts, but I own no Indian classical recordi... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Syntax, I think the electronic standard is probably best simplified, at a minimum, to mean making input and output impedances fall within a certain range for every component downstream of the amp's inputs, and making source component output voltag... | |
| Cary or VTL amps Rcme53, I had not heard that but it's possible. I will dig around in the archives to see what's there. | |
| best 'affordable' turntable with moving coil cart Richmon, I'm with Johnnyb53. You have a very nice phono-pre, and from what I can tell from other threads, a nice set of speakers. It would be a shame to be turned off vinyl because you don't think it does well compared to your digital (which will ... | |
| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? Kijanki, "the same spirit" requires that it be item be replaceable an upgradeable... so you'd better stay away from talking about my car. :^) | |
| step up transformer, tonearm and cartridge combos? Braindeadly, I have no experience with a Scott 340 (assuming it's a 340B?) nor with using a transformer for that large a voltage jump. If you have no preconceptions on MM or MC, I would try to find an MM cart which matches the older SME arms (firs... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Lewm, regarding my belief in Dertonarm's contentions... if you look at the first paragraph of my second of two consecutive posts above, I state... I, for one, am not at all convinced Mr. D is right (though I would love to listen to the table he cr... | |
| Top ten DD turntables of all time? Mapman, if you click on my system, and look at the pics for the Denon DP-80, I can tell you that screwdriver in hand, it would take me 2mins flat to remove the TT from the plinth (assuming it has no record on it - call it another 10 seconds plus t... | |
| Top ten DD turntables of all time? Mapman, as to whether sitting on a solid foundation is enough... Build a giant steel-reinforced concrete cube platform - call it 100ft a side. Put an electron microscope on top of it - however the electron microscope is sitting on a piece of plywo... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Frank, thanks. My understanding, from Mark Kelly's interesting writings on the subject, is that no matter the tension, some kind of slippage is, by definition, necessary; and that slippage induces differing tensions on either side of the platter, ... | |
| Top ten DD turntables of all time? A few other great DD tables which have not gotten a mention here would be the following: Onkyo PX-100MDenon DP-80 (re-plinthed)Sony TTS-8000 (re-plinthed)Lo-D TU-1000 (might benefit from being re-plinthed)Diatone LT-1Yamaha PX-1Pioneer PL-1LCdk84,... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Frank, I for one hope you do not regret chipping in. I always enjoy reading your informative posts. As to your last point, I completely agree that in coming up with a commercial product, there are always compromises - it cannot be otherwise as the... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction I thank all the participants on this thread for sharing their knowledge and experience. Sitting on the perch of not being willing to build my own TT, and not being willing to spend ultra-bucks to buy someone else's summum, and being quite happy wi... | |
| step up transformer, tonearm and cartridge combos? You may be getting burned out, but you're going to have to stick with it for a little bit :^) The TT just gets things spinning - the cartridge/tonearm combination is what pulls the info out of the groove, and the phono pre/equalizer is what gets t... |
